Marie Harte | My Top Five Favorite Workplace Romances

My top five favorite workplace romances? The author who immediately comes to mind on workplace romances is Jayne Ann Krentz. Most of her early heroes felt like cowboys in the boardroom. I used to eat up her contemporary romances like they were going out of style. So Ifd have to put an oldie but a goodie, Sweet Fortune by Jayne Ann Krentz, on my list. And if shefs there, then I have to also add Susan Elizabeth Phillips and the first in her Chicago Stars books, It Had to Be You, about a woman who inherits a football team yet knows nothing about the sport. The humor and conflict between the hero and heroine are laugh-out-loud funny. And the steam factor is high! On a less contemporary note, Ifm a huge Shelly Laurenston fan, and shefs known for writing zany paranormal romances. But one workplace romance thatfs stayed with me is Big, Bad Beast, which pits wolf shifter and former Marine sniper Dee-Ann Smith up against Ric Van Holtz, her boss. I laugh and flip page after page whenever Ifm reading Shelly Laurenstonfs books. Staying in the paranormal lane, Ifd have to go with Thea Harrisonfs The Elder Races series, in particular, Kinked. Two sentinels who donft trust each other have to work together to stop an encroaching evil. I loved this book so much! The leads were antagonistic and created fantastic friction trying not to fall for each other while doing their jobs. Lastly, Ifd have to say my own book, Smooth Moves, is a particular favorite of mine. *grin* Two military vets square off while working together in the civilian world. But as they come to know each other, the attraction simmering between them heats up. Starting over never felt so good!

Thanks for having me, and happy reading!
